Important

macOS first launch (no code signing yet). After dragging StemDeck to Applications, clear the Gatekeeper quarantine flag or macOS will say the app is damaged:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/StemDeck.app

Optional: start from a clean slate. To reproduce a true first-run experience, open each path in Finder via the Go menu, then Go to Folder (Shift+Cmd+G), and move the folders to Trash:

  • ~/Library/Application Support/StemDeck
  • ~/Library/WebKit/app.stemdeck.desktop
  • ~/Library/Caches/stemdeck
  • ~/Library/Caches/app.stemdeck.desktop

You can also delete ~/Library/Preferences/app.stemdeck.desktop.plist the same way. This is optional; the app will work without it.

What's new in 0.8.0 Alpha 15

OGG and Opus support

  • Import OGG and Opus files. Drop an .ogg (Vorbis or Opus) or .opus file onto the import bar — no need to convert first. Requested in #330. (#331)
  • Export as OGG. The export panel gains an OGG option (Vorbis, ~192 kbps — the same quality tier as the MP3 export) for the mix, loop-region, and stems ZIP downloads. (#331)
  • Mobile fix. The phone UI's file picker already listed .ogg but the server rejected it with an error — that mismatch is gone. (#331)

Housekeeping

  • CI dependency updates (GitHub Actions). No functional changes beyond the above — if you don't need OGG/Opus, there is no urgency to update.

Installing

  • macOS: drop the .app into Applications and launch (run the xattr command above first).
  • Windows: unzip the downloaded .zip, then run StemDeck.exe from the extracted folder. For GPU acceleration, use the NVIDIA zip and make sure nvidia-smi reports your GPU; the CPU zip runs anywhere.
  • Linux: download the .tar.gz for your hardware, extract it, and run ./StemDeck. Install the WebKitGTK + GTK runtime prerequisites first (FFmpeg is fetched automatically on first launch):
    sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0
    
    The NVIDIA build additionally needs a working NVIDIA driver such that nvidia-smi reports your GPU. You do not need to install the CUDA toolkit — StemDeck downloads the CUDA runtime it needs on first launch (a one-time download of roughly 2.5 GB). If you have no NVIDIA GPU, use the CPU-only tarball.
  • Docker / Unraid: install "StemDeck" from Unraid Community Applications, or pull ghcr.io/stemdeckapp/stemdeck:edge and map port 8000 plus the /app/jobs and /cache volumes. Add --runtime=nvidia for GPU acceleration. See the README for the full docker run command.
